Did not sleep there only lunch Lunch menu good had many different options for all kind of eaters Service was ok Nice room with a view from the tables Ordered light meal Jacket potato with cheddar cheese A pino gri And ice cream and Changan bomb All just great

We were very pleased with our stay at the Sands Hotel! We stayed in the Scapa room. It is extremely spacious as it has a living room/kitchen area and the beds are on the upper level. It's perfect for a family of four. The kitchen and refrigerator allow you to make your own meals if you would like. The breakfasts are outstanding too. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and informative. There is ample parking behind the hotel and our room had a very nice view of the bay. All in all, this is a wonderful place to use as your base to explore the Orkney Islands1

We popped in for lunch whilst driving down to Hoxa, very lovely in the bar area and we had delicious soup and a lovely toastie. I then spotted all the local gins behind the bar and the very friendly member of staff took time to talk me through them all and where they were from.

16 for dinner..Andy and the staff were brilliant as was the food..pre ordered..but excellent..served promptly correctly and no mistakes..Swanney beers were also on great form . A lovely evening..thank you Sands team. We will be back soon

Local family visiting for a large family meal. Staff were very welcoming and accomadating from booking and then when we were at were table. Great banter from the staff also! Food was excellent- especially the pork dish! Highly recommend a visit to Sands Hotel.

The staff were brilliant and truly went out their way to make my stay very enjoyable. I would return here and recommend others to stay here also. The food was excellent and a very good selection to choose from.

Lots of choice on the menu. Food was amazing and staff were so friendly and attentive. Lovely setting overlooking a working harbour. Would be lovely to sit out on a sunny day but equally as stunnig from inside (it was raining for us). Would highly recommend a visit!

The Sands Hotel provides a truly wonderful stay. The accommodation is of a high standard, very comfortable and the staff are exceptional. The staff go out of their way to make you welcome and chat away with the Guests. The food is delicious and cooked to perfection! 5 star in every area 😀 Would highly recommend.

A lovely hotel over looking Burray Harbour. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, rooms are very clean and comfortable, food is honest well cooked fair. The homemade Mac n Cheese was a delight. If youre leaving before breakfast theyll make up a lunch sandwich for you. Salmon and Scrambled egg and full cooked breakfast both superb. Lots of Tea and Toast too. The bar stocks well kept beer and a few Whiskys. You pass the Highland Park Distillery on the way to Burray. If you are looking for a quiet hotel with genuinely friendly people who provide superb service, book The Sands.
